Commercial Litigation

“We regularly face and prevail against the nation’s finest and biggest regional and national law firms – often firms on the Am Law 100 list. Recently, our adversary was an Am Law 10 firm.”

Commercial litigation forms the backbone of Gary Leydig’s practice. Commercial litigation requires an understanding of the full range of common law and statutory rights and remedies available to businesses and business people. Effective commercial litigators are, and must be, generalists. They need to see and understand the big picture. Then, once the problem has been dissected and a strategy chosen, the lawyer must be able to become quickly expert in the specific laws that will achieve the client’s goals and needs. Throughout, the commercial litigator must be expert at using the rules and procedures of the many state and federal courts where the disputes are played out.
